Add to ORKGProgramming is defined as the planning of activities for the sake of optimization. When linear constraints are ·assumed, together with a linear objective function, the optimization is defined as solving a linear programming problem. Linear programming was originally developed by Dantzig, Wood and (others for the U.S. Air Force. Since it was first published in 1947, it has been used widely in industrial as well as military situations. Examples of specific exotic and straight forward applications of the linear programming technique can be found in text books, monographs and technical papers in the several fields in which it has been used. The simplex procedure is the most powerful and efficient technique in existence for the solution of linea...
